LONDON (Reuters) ―The design for an official commemorative (纪念性的) coin to mark the engagement of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton was unveiled on Thursday, but not everyone might recognize the bride-to-be.

The depiction，based on photographs of the couple at a sporting event，bears some resem?blance to William but less to his fiancee(未婚妻) .

Royal watchers said she appears much fuller in the face on the coin than she is in real life.

"This coin is of historical importance―to get it so wrong seems ridiculous," Editor-in-Chief of Majesty magazine, Ingrid Seward, was quoted on the Sky News website as saying.

The design was approved by the 28-year-old couple and by William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth.

The Royal Mint,which produced the collectors' item,said it had no intention of changing the design.

"It is quite a subjective issue， ”a spokesman for the Mint，based in Llantrisant，south Wales, told Reuters.

"It is always challenging to engrave(雕刻) profiles and features onto something as small as a coin，particularly the features of young people.”

Prince William, second-in-line to the throne after his father Prince Charles, announced his engagement to his long-term girlfriend in November, and the couple will marry on April 29.

Production of the coin has yet to begin, and it is not clear how many will be struck,but or?ders have been taken.

The Royal Mint has created many commemorative medals and coins to mark special occa?sions ,including the 2012 London Olympics as well as other royal events, but this is the first time it has created a commemorative royal engagement coin.

( ) 5. What's wrong with the coin?

B.Nobody can recognize the woman on the coin.

C.The royal family are not satisfied with the design.

D.It was rejected on the collection market.

( ) 6. How did the Royal Mint react to the problem?

B.They explained but insisted on making it as it is.

C.They denied all criticism about the coin.

( ) 7. What is the purpose of making the coin?

A lazy Susan is an addition to a table，which is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is accomplished through the use of a turntable(转盘) ， which usually moves the food in a circle when pushed by those at table. In this way,the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place as the lazy Susan is turned about.

A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet. One may spin the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods stored in it. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.

Whether the lazy Susan is on a tabletop or within a cabinet，it can be made of a variety of materials. Most commonly, a lazy Susan is made of either plastic, wood or glass. Some people believe that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan，though it was referred to as a dumb wai?ter(上菜升降架) at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daugh?ter complained she was always served last at table and，as a result，never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph(留声机) ，which later developed into the lazy Susan.

Regardless of who invented it,it wasn't until 1917 that the term lazy Susan was created in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term dumb waiter is still used rath?er than the term lazy Susan. The reason for the name lazy Susan remains a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson's or Edison's daughter, both of whom were named Su?san.

Spurred(刺激) by the unlimited texting plans offered by carriers like AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless, American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month, according to the Nielsen Company一almost 80 messages a day.

The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists. Dr. Martin Joffe, a pediatrician in Greenbrae，Calif.，recently surveyed students at two local high schools and said he found that many were routinely sending hundreds of texts every day.

The rise in texting is too recent to have produced any conclusive data on health effects. But Sherry Turkle, a psychologist who has studied texting among teenagers in the Boston area for three years,said it might be causing a shift in the way adolescents develop.

"Among the jobs of adolescence are to separate from your parents，and to find the peace and quiet to become the person you decide you want to be," she said. "Texting hits directly at both those jobs.”

Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into autono- mous adults，Professor Turkle went on， " but if technology makes something like staying in touch very,very easy, that's harder to do;now you have adolescents who are texting their mothers 15 times a day,asking things like, * Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?'"
